Trench town
Trench TownI am sitting in a circle of five Rastafarian Jamaican men. I felt no threat. Wow! So much has happened to me in the last six months. As I sat there, I became the participant/observer I had read about in many journals. I watched everything intensely. The men were expressing strong positive non-verbal's.

The air inside this building was damp and hard to breathe. Around him lay shattered pieces of stone from the collapsed roof above him.
